Sad Day!

So after taking two months to find the perfect Z that I wanted and having it shipped from Virginia to Oklahoma...this happens...

I had my new Z for exactly 7 days when a guy decided to run a stop sign and hit me! Luckily he had insurance!

The damage wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, the impact bent some suspension pieces and scuffed up the rim that has to be replaced now...smh...

I sure am going to miss her...

they are incredibly heavy wheels.. far more than stock... and still a good deal more than most other reasonable wheels.

Makes a huge impact on cars such as ours.

wasnt meant as an insult.. just an observation .. and i can attest that heavy wheels make a giant difference. been there.

Sucks man, sorry to hear about that. I've actually been thinking of downsizing my wheels for performance reasons. The TSWs look good though.

how fast was the guy going through the stop sign? looks like he California rolled into you. A good buffing would get that out.

nothing wrong with TSW rims. yes they're heavy and spoke designs could be better. but it's a decent affordable alternative that i would prefer over replica wheels.
